Wirral West MP Esther McVey also attended the awards ceremony and said: “It's clear to me that Wirral really does have tremendous talent and that the future of our wonderful borough is safe in the hands of these awe inspiring youths."

Martin Dickson, director of Wirral YFC and founder of the Youth Heroes Awards, added: “At Youth Heroes we refuse to join the apparent band-wagon of negativity towards ‘youth’, instead celebrating and affirming the good in our young people.

“We believe that, like acorns, every young person has the potential to become an oak tree, something magnificent if only we care and nurture them in the best way we know how.

“I would like to thank everyone who made Friday possible, all the local businesses for sponsoring the awards, our host, everyone behind the scenes but most of all, the young people for inspiring hope in their generation.”

Learning disabled people will feel taller I hope, knowing that the council leader, Steve Foulkes, who oversaw years of abuse and the cover up of that abuse has been removed, and is now safely ensconced as Mayor and no longer in a position to wreak genuine havoc...

He's now safely restricted to issuing lame rhetoric and falsehoods.

His rhetoric was far from lame on Friday Paul; I for one found his genuine admiration and affirmation of young people to be highly inspirational.

I feel it's a shame that having read the article above your overriding emotion was one of disdain rather than exuberant delight at the incredible achievements of Wirral's young people.
